Bit behind my target so far for the year but my Felt SR91 Flat bar has passed 60,000k's since I bought it nearly 5 years ago. Good bike, I ride it all the time, Highways, dirt tracks, dirt roads back roads, city, country. Just keeps rolling along.

The k's just keep ticking over it's been 5 years and 2 months since returning to full time cycling and today I clocked up 70,000k's. At my current rate I should clock up 100,000 k's by the end of 2014.

funny you say that Zozz, i noticed an absence there today, Wal is up and down with emotions like a brides nighty on the wedding night,he adds himself then tosses it in twice a month,(For the ACF club that is, not the total bikejournal), and now cavebear has tossed it in.ohhh well Probably to appear later in the year and go na na na na na setting stopwatch for a pm

How's everyone going with the red devil chase?? I'm a wee bit behind but reckon I'll smash it by the end of Dec. getting some good rides in on Sat & Sun. When the warmer weather kicks in it'll help for sure.

OK so probably not so much 'fun' as 'hard nosed obsessive' but I had a great time anyway...

A perfect long weekend in WA after a working week of wind & rain.

I started my 600km Randonee with a 33km ride to the start just after dawn.

We started from Perth at 7:05AM, I arrived at the overnight sleep spot at Williams at 9:25PM having ridden 356.5km from Perth-Bakers Hill-York-Beverley-Pingelly-Narrogin-Williams.

Up at 5:40AM for a big carb. loaded brekky, off just after 7AM, down the valley to Quindanning, up the hills to Maradong, through the hills to Dwellingup for an early lunch stop. Then through the hills to Waroona then the coastal plain south of the Peel Estuary, up through Mandurah then back to the start point at Willeton by 6:27PM on Sunday evening.

Hi Stuart,I was riding in the hills in the rain using a large saddlebag. (no back pack). No I don't have a bear, that's my wife, she often has bears dangling/attached to things. Mind you, if it was raining and there were hills, Helen definitely wouldn't be there!

CheersPerry

BTW. last weekend's little ride was 308km in 12h10m (11h riding time) it included hills from Jarrahdale through to N Bannister and Boddington to Dwellingup to Waroona. It was a perfect day and I was all alone....
